We went for a second opinion and to better understand the possible treatment options. The doctor was incredibly kind and genuinely invested in our situation. He explained each option in a way that was easy to understand, reassured us about the expected response time, and referred us to an MDC to help determine the best treatment for me. The experience was so positive that we are even considering switching to Emory for the potential treatment, even though it would mean driving an hour and a half to the hospital.
